Snow in Buffalo - Are you ready ?

Scary word to some & happy word for the skiers.  Either way you need to do some preparations for the snow & wind that is inevitable.  Snow brush in the car, scraper, good tires, windshield wiper fluid, good windshield snow blades, keep the gas tank full in case your stranded along with a blanket, empty bottle & snack in the car, working cell phone with you. Home furnace checked out before the real cold hits, CO2 & smoke detectors in good working order. Back-up supplies in case loss of power ( generator, fuel, windup radio & flashlight & cell phone charger, batteries, extension cords, extra non-perishable food supply for a few days, bottled water supply for drinking, cooking, mixing & flushing ( 1 gallon per day per person for maybe 3 days ).  Bring out the shovels, snow blowers & driveway salts.  Again be sure to have the fireplace cleaned & checked by a pro., a supply of wood.  Maybe some extra cash supply in a locked safe since the banks may also be closed.  If you have an electric stove maybe a back up tank of propane for the outdoor grill. Neighbors contact numbers, emergency phone numbers. Neighborhood watch friends. Call your insurance agent and review your policies to be sure you are protected properly.
